It seems Javi Gracia has turned down his first job opportunity since his exit from Leeds United.
Spanish outlet La Voz De Almeria features a story about the manager rejecting Almeria, and actually brings some criticism towards his decision.
Their piece claims the Spanish club is ‘no longer a candy’ for coaches who want fancy jobs, as ‘desire’ and ‘hunger’ are needed to take a position like that.
That comes as a direct message to the former Leeds boss, who had been an option for the La Liga side and turned down their offer.
Reports in Spain have been saying that Gracia won’t take charge of any club for now, as he continues to wait for a better opportunity.
That’s why La Voz De Almeria come up with this rant, displaying the real profile the club need, as the new coach will need big skills to handle their dressing room and show results on the pitch.
Gracia left Leeds in May this year. His record with the Whites was seven defeats in 12 matches.
